Default SR20det swap

I was wondering if a sr20det(or any other nissan engine) would fit in a del sol. Also are there any ways to make a del sol RWD.

now I've seen and worked on a Eclipse with a 360 Magnum V8 in it but that was being built for outlaw class drag racing (track only), but your idea is a little crazyer.

of course. but for the average guy, it's not likely unless he really plans on measuring and doing custom fabrication.

There are a bunch swaps that are crazy like that in Thailand.

Not worth it here unless you want to spend a shitload of money to become the 1st SR20DET civic in America

yes that have been done before, But like everyone will tell you it's all gonna come down to the MONEY$$$$. It would be a kick *** car, but for the same price you could spend it on a Bseries motor and build the hell out of it with some money to spare for a 2nd motor.

It may be the first rwd but I have a buddie who ran a SR20DET in a crx. It was a complete bitch though and he ended up putting a H22 in it. If you so desire nissan power why dont you just get a 240 and build yourself a sivia?

dont bother putting in a sr20det. with all the money you're gonna spend to get it to fit and work, you can build up a b16 or b18a/b/c..

Top Fuel built a B18C-R turbo-powered, rear/mid engine del Sol years ago. I'm sure it wasn't easy.

One thing I thought up that would be funny would be to keep the stock d-series up front, leave it in there, and then hack the rear subframe/floorpan for a B18C, have it as the running engine, the front just as a dummy. Maybe you could sell your running d-series and get a dead one, then have all the block and trans internals taken out to save weight.



OR drop in an H22 and be just as fast, and not have people ask "why?"
